Exacq Releases Low-Cost, Energy Efficient exacqVision EL Video Surveillance Appliance

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exacq Technologies is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of its new exacqVision EL video surveillance appliance. exacqVision EL is a low-cost hybrid video surveillance server that utilizes the same VMS (video management system) software used with all exacqVision servers, packaged in an energy efficient, sleek 1.5 U (2.5 inches tall) compact chassis running an embedded Linux operating system for added reliability.

exacqVision EL is a cost-efficient and highly reliable surveillance server. Using embedded Linux on a solid-state drive ensures that the unit will be able to alert users in the event of a hard drive failure. The EL also makes use of the energy efficient Intel Atom® processor and a thermally optimized, compact professional chassis to greatly reduce energy costs. The average power consumption of exacqVision EL is only one-third to one-fifth that of traditional IP video servers, resulting in hundreds of dollars in energy cost savings over the lifetime of the unit, as well as higher reliability from a cooler-running chassis.

exacqVision EL is a true hybrid surveillance server that incorporates both traditional analog security cameras and the latest network (or “IP”) cameras on the same unit. Every EL server includes 16 analog inputs and up to 24 IP camera inputs for a total of 40 unique cameras per server. Moreover, the server is easily scalable with all other exacqVision systems via the free client software used to administrate systems and to view live and recorded video. This allows users to create anything from a single server application to a fully enterprise solution spread over a network. The same client software is available for Windows, Linux or Macintosh computers making it a unique cross-platform application.

“The EL is excellent as a low-cost, reliable, stand-alone surveillance system that allows users to take advantage of their existing analog security infrastructure while adding the latest IP cameras,” notes Dave Underwood, President of Exacq Technologies. “Since it features the same VMS software used with our entire product line it’s scalable with all exacqVision servers. This allows the user to grow their system as their needs change. exacqVision EL is a perfect stand-alone surveillance appliance for a convenience store,” adds Underwood, “but it’s also part of a viable solution for a chain of stores or nearly any enterprise level installation because of the scalable VMS software.”

The included powerful VMS software integrates with the security industry’s leading IP cameras which offer the latest technology including megapixel and multi-megapixel resolution, H.264 compression, network PTZ and video analytics. The exacqVision VMS software also integrates with access control systems as well as iSCSI storage devices and loss prevention software.
